There is an ad that plays regularly when Nick watches his various politics shows on the internet lately. It's for Duracell batteries, and it's had several different versions, each dealing with a different type of technology that's supposed to be life-saving/incredibly important, that wouldn't be as efficient without Duracell batteries. Their latest ( Read more... )

The second trailer for the upcoming Watchmen movie is out.

My thoughts:

What a great-looking film! What wonderful effects and cinematography! Really, it looks like it's going to be a great action flick!

...but why is Rorschach speaking in complete sentences? Why does everyone look so shiny? Why does Rorschach seem so... saneSee, this was my fear ( Read more... )

Looks like my comics budget is getting a little bigger for a while...

First off, theres the upcoming 200th issue of X-Men, which is going to feature Mr Sinister (one of my favourite villains full stop, never mind just in comics, if only for the fact that he's teaching whole generations of comic book readers what being Machiavellian is all about), ( Read more... )

...You see how much Fables has gotten into my brain?

It makes a certain amount of sense that, when I finally have money for the first time in several weeks to spend on things other than food and bills, that the comics shop suddenly develop delivery problems (they're about two months behind on most of the comics I collect or want to start collecting) and get rid of most of the graphic novels I wanted ( Read more... )

This is the fic I wrote this morning that pushed me over my 10k goal. It was inspired by yesterday's museteasers prompt, but rather quickly grew bigger than a drabble (in fact, I think there's probably a fair bit still to come).
